The use of superior materials in keeping with the local area has created a high-quality, low-rise development reflective of the stone used on many flagship buildings on Kensington High Street. PVs have been included and there is very easy access to all local facilities and the tube station. The surrounding existing buildings and businesses remained operational during construction and due to its vicinity of embassies and Kensington Palace security was important.
